Which of the following is true of fatty acids?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Saturated fatty acids contain no double bonds, which allows them to pack tightly together and form a solid structure at room temperature. Therefore, all saturated fatty acids are solids at room temperature. Unsaturated fatty acids, on the other hand, contain double bonds which create kinks in their structure and prevent tight packing, making them more likely to be liquid at room temperature. Trans-unsaturated fatty acids may or may not be solid at room temperature depending on their length, saturation, and shape.
